For example, an ex-employee gains online access because you didn't think to change the password - you may well have an uphill battle.

Regarding C-corp, I have researched this as well and I don't see any benefit of this structure for my situation as it seem more suited for businesses that plan on growing very large and hiring a lot of employees..

When it comes to the renovation, do you hire each individual job out (ie: find a plumber, hire an electrician, etc etc) or hire a company that has all of these qualified employees that'll come in and do it all.Looking to turn around and have a place completely renovated in 4-6 weeks and ready to rent.

It was purchased by my (solely owned and managed, I have no other employees or officers) Tennessee C-corp, so the deed is titled to my business.

Even my best employees, family included I would never cosign on a loan for them unless I was completely willing to pay all of it myself. 

I currently have a few savings/checkings account with 3 credit unions (navy federal, merck employee, and american heritage).

Frankly I find it absurd that a customer should have to butter up an employee in order for them to perform the responsibilities of their job, but that's the public sector for you.

When I was at the total entry point, I read Rich Dad Poor Dad which gave me a great framework for the mindset of an investor, vs an employee. #2 I got all my affairs in order:  no credit card debt, didn't buy anything not necessary, reliable car, nothing fancy. 

We have a full-time employee handling most of it now. 

The question is how much time do you have time to manage and train an employee?
